Burglar steals $12,000 worth of goods from Alamo home

ALAMO -- Police are looking for a burglar who stole more than $12,000 worth of goods from a home in Alamo on July 5.

Surveillance footage released Thursday shows the suspect walking around the front porch of the home in the 500 block of Neely Court and peeking into the front windows.

He then went into the backyard, got inside through a window, and stole electronics, utensils and jewelry valued at more than $12,000, according to Jimmy Lee, a spokesman for the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office.

The burglar drove away in a black SUV, possibly a Honda CR-V, which he had parked in the driveway, Lee said. Authorities believe he may be involved in other Alamo home burglaries.

Anyone with information on the case or the identity of the suspect is asked to call the sheriff's investigative division at 925-313-2647, send a tip via email to tips@so.cccounty.us or call 866-846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message.
